- TriviaThe scene in which Amitabh gives a speech on stage (Prior to O Saathi Re) was written by Kader Khan. He based the dialogues on his own personal pain in life. When Kader wrote the scene, it ended up being 16 long pages. Kader delivered the dialogues to Prakash Mehra. When Amitabh saw the 16 pages, he refused to do the scene. Amitabh felt it was too long and there was no way he could remember and recite the entire dialogues. Prakasn Mehra also agreed that it was too long. Later Amitabh sent his car out to pick up Kader Khan. When the two met, Amitabh told Kader there was no way he was going to do the scene with 16 pages of dialogues. Kader then took the sheet and did it himself with tears in his eyes. He told Amitabh the importance of the words in the scene.Amitabh was speechless. He got hugged Kader Khan and agreed to do the scene as it was written.

Featured review
I love this movie for so many reasons, first and foremost for Amitabh Bachchan. How can anybody not fall in love with him?, then for the story- It's been portrayed very well, it touches every right chord of your heart. The movie and some amazing scenes resonate with you long after you have watched the movie and finall all songs. I love the sikandar drunkard scene outside his house, I love to listen to all the songs, but definitely love to watch one song in particular which is salaame ishq. There you see dual magic of Kishore Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan. The end is of course my favorite.
I particularly want to appreciate the writer-director for the way they handled Amitabh's reaction when he learns of VK and Rakhee's love. Anybody would obviously feel betrayed and wounded.. so he kills VK but only subconsciously to realize later that it was never VK's fault. Then he goes to Rekha to console his feelings and when he gets defeated there too. He comes back to do the only thing he can and should which is to let go off the illusion of ever marrying Rakhee and have VK and Rakhee marry instead.
Over all this is yet another feather on Amitabh's well deserved victory hat.
